掛軸

Hanging Scroll


Meaning

Hanging Scroll

Word Type

noun

Explanation

It hangs on an axis point. The axis opens up, and reveals a hanging scroll. This might take a little extra imagination, but I believe in you.


Reading

かけじく

Explanation

For 掛 you'll want to think back to the word 掛ける, then shorten it and shove it into the kanji half way (the かけ part at least). For 軸 that's the reading you learned with the kanji, so at least you have that to work off of.
